Notes from small businesses and SaaS teams
Security visibility teams can actually use
Notes from teams using PortWarden to watch public-facing systems.
PortWarden turned attack surface management into something we actually check, not something we remember once a quarter. It tells us what changed and what needs attention without making us dig through scanner noise.
While working with PortWarden developing virtual security engineers for their platform we were invited to actually use their system. Although we already have managed security, we went ahead and added our IP assets to their portal, just to try out their system. We were quite surprised to find an extra SSH service port open to the public on our Gitea server, one apparently opened by one of our own AI agents.
- Caught unexpected exposed SSH.
The best part is that it gives our team something practical to do next. We get the finding, the evidence, and enough context to decide whether to fix it now or schedule it properly.
In an industry with some rather sketchy competitors we often find ourselves the intended victim of exploit attempts. As we can't justify the budget for a full security team or managed solution, we've found it necessary to scan our networks regularly, and to fix issues as quickly as possible. With PortWarden, we are now scanning daily and getting notifications, so we no longer have to budget the time to scan manually.
- Reduced weekly manual checking.
When we push changes, we need to know quickly if something unexpected is exposed. PortWarden gives us that gut check, and the on-demand scans are useful when we want to verify a fix.
As a software engineering and development company we typically build and deploy a large number of servers on the regular basis. When we pick up something weird on a scan, it used to lead to hours of internet searching or an expensive call to a security engineer. Now we can query the PortWarden AI security agent and get a clearer read on how serious a finding is before calling in a security engineer.
- Helped validate remediation.
We do not have a full security team, so we needed something clear. PortWarden helped us see what was public, clean up the obvious problems, and keep watching for anything new.
We're a non-profit organization with a singular focus on criminal justice reform. Not only do we not have an IT department, we don't even have an IT guy. But with PortWarden we've been able to setup, manage, and regularly scan all our servers. For us, it is the most security we can get for the money we have.
- Saved money while improving security.
